Moral Dilema!!

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

We had a guy in a van reverse in our gateway, he'd forgotten he had a ladder on the roof, the ladder ripped off the down pipe & smashed several tiles off the house.

 

He started to drive off but I gave chase on foot and managed to smack the van. He slammed on the anchors, I only just managed a hard body swerve to avoid a face plant in the rear doors!

 

Needless to to say, the red mist was in full force as the van door opened & I prepped for action stations... Bloke bust into tears, that took the wind out of my sails!!

 

He was in a "marked van" though and I know the boss of the company so he was never going to get away with it.

 

In your case, if I were you, I'd consider passing on the date / time / details to the neighbour. If they are 'decent and appreciative' I'd consider providing witness statement, if not, I'd say you've done the decent thing and leave it to them to take forward.

 

Have a beer and a think about it...

Wrap a turd in it as well. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

 

You crack me up:laugh1:

It's a no brainer, you must let them know, & to hide your knowledge would be vindictive at worst, dishonest at best. Maintain your own standards, & let others look after theirs, your environment will be a better place for it.

Depends on whether you think that you could let this go without doing anything about it? Even if I don’t get on with them, I would be unable to get it out of the back of my mind later on. I would always feel as though I had done wrong, and by the time I realized that, it might be a bit too late.

Phone police and give details, get a crime ref number. Post letter through the door explaining this. That's your good deed done. Have a beer.

 

They will then have to be nice to you if they pop round to get your help. If they are not, close door and have another beer.

 

Or

 

Just have the beer and forget everything else.

 

Either way the beer is wins.

I'd report it to the police as well, then let them know. Either way set up camp on the moral high ground.

report it to the police and let them know!! Its the right thing to do! Be the better man and rise above your squabble/disagreement with your neighbors:thumbup1:
